This PhysCast is about uniform circular motion. A puck of mass m1 is rotated in a circle of radius R on a frictionless air-hockey table. It is connected to a stationary, suspended mass m2 by a cord passing through a hole in the table. Find a) The tension in the cord b) The speed on the puck c) The period of the rotation.
